Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRC) is a technique that uses magnetic fields and RF waves to determine the concentration of metabolites in living tissues. Accordingly, brain MRI often uses metabolites containing P, Na, K, C, N, F to evaluate the concentration of metabolites to obtain a spectrum with peaks corresponding to the concentration of substances in the surveyed area.

brain tumor is a growth of abnormal cells in the brain. There are many types of brain tumors. Some brain tumors are benign, and some are malignant. Brain tumors can start in your brain (primary brain tumors) or cancer can start in other parts of your body and spread to your brain (secondary or metastatic tumors).

Among people with the most common type of lung cancer, up to 40% develop metastatic brain tumors, with an average survival time of less than six months. But why non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) often spreads to the brain is still not well understood.

Non-contrast computed tomography of the brain is an imaging technique widely used in the diagnosis of neurological diseases. Cranial computed tomography is indicated for effective examination of intracranial and skull bone diseases, including intraaxial brain tumors.

Treatment of central nervous system lesions by brain radiosurgery (STEREOTACTIC RADIOSUGERY - SRS) at Vinmec Central Park International General Hospital is a completely new technique in Vietnam. This technique has only been applied at the world's leading radiation therapy centers for about 10 years now. This is considered the most modern brain radiotherapy technique in Southeast Asia, bringing positive signals in the treatment of cancer.

Some of the symptoms of a brain tumor are the same as those of other medical conditions. Diagnosis of brain tumor requires a combination of physical examination and laboratory tests. The following article will mention some of the common symptoms that are common in the case of brain tumors.
